Iso means the same. Therefore iso pentane will have 5 carbons,12 hydrogens but will have a slightly different structure, such as a branched chain instead of straight. Neo means new, it is similar to iso in this use, a slightly different form of pentane, having 5 carbons and 12 hydrogens, different from the first in structure,only
The prefix "neo" is used when all but two carbons form a continuous chain, and these two carbons are part of a terminal tert-butyl group. The prefix "sec" or "s" is used when the functional group is bonded to a secondarycarbon. This prefix is only useful for a four-carbon chain
